SUMMARY:

This thesis investigates the relationship between gender, race, and crime within the phenomenon of criminalization. To this end, it draws on contributions from neo-materialist feminists and the concept of performativity to understand which elements are brought to light in the practices that perform crime. The study is grounded in the understanding that crime, gender, and race are mutually constitutive, entangled among matter, bodies, and ideas in the production of a material-discursive world. Ethnography and the construction of scenes of the criminalization of travestis conducted during fieldwork were used as a strategic analytical tool to reveal how police reports, police approaches, oral testimonies, photographs from police investigations, court hearings, judges' words, and the bodily expressions of travestis not only affirm the occurrence of a crime but also perform these phenomena, bringing them into existence in ways that render them perceptible. Through these procedures, it was possible to conclude that criminalization is a contingent, flexible, and active phenomenon that stabilizes and materializes through a myriad of material-discursive practices that make crime—that is, render it perceptible, visible, and tangible to us. Furthermore, the making of crime is inseparable from the making of gender and racialization, as they are mutually constitutive, shaping specific contours to criminalization itself.
